many years, and think we
received very shabby treat-
ment over this affair."

Judie Moss

•

A letter from Unique
Restaurant Corp., has been
received by Judie . . . "Thank
you for taking time to write
me regarding the incident at
my West Bloomfield unit. I
appreciate customers who let
me know when they have a
negative experience as oppos-
ed to simply not returning.
"First, as a way of explana-
tion, the Deli just changed
plateware to a highly-
tempered glass. These plates
are relatively new to our in-
dustry and, while all-in-all
they are an excellent product,
they do have one drawback —
they shatter into hundreds of
pieces if they break. Because
they are so highly tempered,
they rarely break but when
they do, it is extremely
explosive.
"Unfortunately, there must
have been a broken plate that
flew into an open bin of soup.
Our policy on breakage is, 'If
there's a doubt — throw it
out However, this must have
gone unseen and unfor-
tunately, it had a terrible con-
clusion. I hope you under-
stand how this happened.
"I spoke to Cindy, the Deli's
assistant manager, regarding
the incident. That evening,
the managing partner left ill
and we were short one man-
agement staff which is why
she was delayed in getting to
your table. She remembered
your table vividly. •
"Cindy informed me that
she apologized for the mishap.
She said that she was very
busy and that she removed
the gentleman's dinner from
the bill. However, in her
haste, she was not sure that
she informed him of this. She
also mentioned that you had
a party of eight and probably
wouldn't have noticed that it
had been removed. Cindy also
said that she was in the front
as you were • leaving and
apologized again.
"Ms. Moss, she did react
properly to the situation; she
just didn't inform you of her
reaction. Our guests are of
great value to us. My com-
pany enjoys a fine reputation
in the community; we con-
sider it our most precious
asset. I hope that you will
continue to patronize us and
continue to give us feedback.
"Please bring the gentle-
man in with his wife and your
husband for dinner on me. A
certificate is enclosed. If I can
ever be of service, please don't
hesitate to call."
